Roam - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! Everything on the menu is good, and the staff is incredibly friendly, contributing to a fun atmosphere. While the steak nachos and margaritas are my usual favorites, the wings, vegan tacos, and bean dip are also highly recommended and deserve an honorable mention. They offer a great happy hour every day, and there are plenty of activities like free pool, basketball, corn hole, and board games to enjoy, along with TVs to watch. The overall experience was excellent, with high ratings for service, atmosphere, and food.

My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. It felt nice, relaxing, and laid-back. It was a great place overall. The food was delicious too.

I walked by and was captivated by the best freespun live set I've heard in many years. I didn't want to leave.

My experience at Roam has been consistently excellent. It's the best spot in Ballard, and I frequent it often. The environment is always friendly, with great music and vibes. They offer something fun every day of the week, including free pool and pop a shot. I highly recommend checking it out!

I was lucky to stumble upon Roam through a networking event. Let me just say how blown away I was with the feel of this location. The drinks are carefully thought of along with a very represented food menu! They have plenty of room and an upstairs that is great for big groups to enjoy.

My experience at this bar was easily one of the best in Ballard. It's a tucked-away gem where everything, from the cocktail menu to the decor, has a thoughtful touch of personality without feeling try-hard. The vibe is relaxed, fun, and unpretentious. The staff is ridiculously cool, the music is always on point, and the atmosphere hits right all times of day. It’s all in the details!

I visited this restaurant with a group of friends and encountered several issues with availability. We initially ordered fries, but they were out. Then, we asked for chips and guacamole, which they also didn't have. We settled for chips and queso, which was acceptable. However, when the order arrived, it was chips and salsa. I informed the server that we had ordered queso, and he claimed it was a "new recipe" – a salsa and queso mix. I tried it, and it was clearly just salsa. When I reiterated that it wasn't queso, he insisted it was a "limited time recipe we just developed" and walked away. I was upset about spending $10 and feeling like I was treated like an idiot and gaslit into believing salsa was queso. The service was poor, and the server's behavior was unacceptable. I do not recommend this place.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I found it to be a great place for delicious drinks and food. The atmosphere is laid back and perfect for catching up with friends. The owners have truly infused fun throughout the whole place, evident in everything from the decor to the names of the drinks.

My experience at Roam in Ballard was fantastic! I visited during Seafood Fest on a Sunday around 1 PM and was surprised it wasn't more crowded, especially since they offer so many free bar games. The place itself is really unique; it looks like a firehouse that's been converted into a bar, creating a truly fantastic atmosphere.

Finally, a Seattle bar with an actually good happy hour! The space is cute, and the food and drinks are good. It’s absolutely worth checking out. We had the Hugo spritz and marg, and both were solid. We also tried the chicken and steak nachos, and they were huge and loaded with toppings. The refried beans and pickled onions were an especially nice touch. We’ll be back!
